Unlike most cones or reflective triangles, this advanced emergency signal uses LED lights to project high-intensity warning signs and signals

2:15
tall vehicle and you find yourself having a hard time utilizing the roof rack, you no longer need
2:20
to worry. The Mokey Doorstep is a similar device that hooks into the side of your door latch
2:25
providing the user with a stable platform for them to step and reach the top of their car
2:30
or truck with ease, without a risk of falling or needing to dirty the seats with their shoes
2:35
And when you're finished, you simply unhook the Mokey Doorstep from the U-shaped latch and place

2:46
Almost everyone nowadays uses their phone as a GPS when driving, and dealing with those pesky
2:52
charging cords getting in the way of everything can become a hassle as well as a distraction
2:57
But thanks to the new Retech charger, you won't have to deal with cords anymore
3:01
It's a silicone charger that has a magnetic strip that can hold your device to it without
3:05
any risk of it falling. Not only will it allow your device to charge fast and keep it in place
3:11
on even the bumpiest of roads, but it will also allow for hands-free access to the GPS

with it sitting comfortably in the front of the driver on the dashboard. The charger is easy to remove and stick back onto the dashboard
3:23
and it's foldable which makes it compact and easy to carry around with you. 6. The Ullman Diagnostics Mirror
3:30
Trying to get a good look at all of those annoying and hard-to-reach places when working on repairs
3:35
has just become infinitely easier with the Digital Diagnostics Mirror by Ullmann
3:40
It's a small mirror that comes equipped with two cameras that hook right up to an app on your smartphone The mirror can be placed into any nook or cranny in the vehicle and display a crystal clear image right on the screen to help you diagnose what wrong with your car without having to take a bunch of parts out just to get a good look The Ullman mirror also comes equipped
3:58
with LED lights to make sure that you get a good image sent back to the app when looking for a
4:03
diagnosis. Number five, Nano Wiper Blades by Kimblade. Any driver will tell you that when it's
4:10
pouring out, having efficient windshield wipers can be the difference between you making it home
4:14
for dinner and getting into a life-altering accident. Thankfully, Kimblade has made that
4:19
an issue of the past with their new nano-wiper blades. The wipers come in a rectangular shape
4:24
which makes for more surface area than a traditional wiper, and are made out of silicone
4:28
with a carbon nanotube-style graphing to ensure that they do a better job wiping away rain and snow
4:35
while also being able to last longer than a standard windshield wiper. Number 4. The Northshire Digital Portable Air Pump
4:42
This is the perfect device to help with flat tires while not taking up too much space within
4:47
the vehicle. Instead of having to be stored in the trunk like other large air compressors
4:52
the Northshire Digital Portable Inflator is small enough to fit inside the glove box
4:57
Then, all you need to do is simply pull it out, hook it up to the tire, and turn it on to begin filling it back up with air. It also comes equipped with an OLED display
5:06
making it easy to read the current tire pressure to make sure that you don't over or under inflate
5:11
the tire. Number 3. The PLOK 2 parking lock. If you live in an apartment complex with assigned
5:18
parking spaces but someone keeps stealing your spot, you might need to get a parking lock
5:23
The smart parking lock uses a sensor that can be placed inside your vehicle to detect when the car
5:29
is in the parking spot and when it is not. And when the lock determines that the vehicle is not
5:33
in the spot, it lifts up a small bar, high enough to prevent anyone else from parking in the space And then when it senses the owner pulling up the bar will lower itself to the ground allowing the driver to park the car in their assigned spot without having to worry about anyone taking it when they away
5:49
Number 2. R-Plate's Digital License Plate Having your license plate obstructed by weather conditions is now a thing of the past
5:57
thanks to the digital license plate by R-Plate. This iPad-like device isn't a tablet for your children to play with
6:03
and instead goes right on the back of your car in place of the traditional metal license plate
6:08
After hooking up the R-Plate to your vehicle, all you have to do is connect to the app and
6:13
register your car for the digital license plate to begin displaying its number in a clear
6:17
concise manner that's easy for anyone to see. On top of that, the R-Plate is capable of
6:22
re-registering your car when necessary and even paying tolls or parking fees without the driver
6:27
having to do anything. With all of that being said, the R-Plate is currently priced at around $900
6:33
1. The Coma 3 Autopilot This device turns your car into a self-driving machine with just a few installations
6:42
Just like the self-driving system implemented in Teslas, the Coma 3 uses a series of cameras
6:47
and sensors around the vehicle to give the car a full 360-degree field of view and allows
6:53
it to be aware of anything and everything surrounding it. The software is based on machine
6:58
learning algorithms that were created during and after 2015, and as of right now, the Coma 3 is
7:04
currently the device's fourth generation. The founder of the device is a famous security hacker
7:09
named George Hotz, and he even tried selling his product to Tesla, though they weren't interested
7:15
Now, unlike Tesla's autopilot system, once it's set up, the Coma 3 allows the driver to simply
7:20
turn on cruise control, and the car will drive itself to its destination without any intervention
7:25
needed from the owner whatsoever. Which would you prefer to have in your vehicle in case you got
7:30
